But as the day wore on … I was reminded again that God’s Timing is not always man’s but it doesn’t mean the prayer isn’t working.
Patience! One of the hardest dilemmas we humans face… by our own nature… when we want something good to happen …we want it now!
My dilemma , since leaving for the Palms, and trying to regain my prior physical cancer status, ( that had kept my cancer held in check for almost two decades) , had stopped working and I was fading fast!
But with a sudden miraculous detour” -” Never say Never” when dealing with God -I have been living in a day to day roller coaster with God driving… the doctors are amazed too… so I have just ” packed up my bags and left all my cares” with my Creator!
Today I was praying that my house would sell… but negotiations were left in negotiations … still lots of interest and I have to believe God is waiting on just the right buyer that is meant to call my house home.
So what helped me pass the day while waiting? My new flowers! Look at the surprise I woke up too on the second day since the containers were completed. God did bring joy in my life yesterday.
So until tomorrow… trust and faith keep hope alive… it’s time to walk the walk!
I was born a Tarheel but ended up a Sandlapper. My grandparents
were cotton farmers in Laurens, South Carolina and it was in my
grandmother’s house that my love of storytelling began beside an old
Franklin stove. When I graduated from Laurens High School, I attended
Erskine College (Due West of what?) and would later get my Masters
Degree in Education/Social Studies from Charleston Southern. I am
presently an adjunct professor/clinical supervisor at CSU and have also
taught at the College of Charleston.
For 28 years I taught Social Studies through storytelling. My philosophy
matched Rudyard Kipling’s quote: “If history were taught in the form of
stories, it would never be forgotten.” Today I still spread this message
through workshops and presentations throughout the state. The secret
of success in teaching social studies is always in the story.
I want to keep learning and being surprised by life…it is the greatest
teacher. Like Kermit said, “When you’re green you grow, when you’re
ripe you rot.”
Your flowers are gorgeous!
Becky, you continue to be an inspiration to me and others with your faith, hope & love!! 💗
